Cornflower Witch

Chapter 138 Alfalfa Balls
Originally, Hiltiya planned to go to the association in White Stone Fortress to inquire about the best way to advance to the second tier, and at the same time plan her third tier job, so that she could prepare for the second tier.

Each time a Destiny Card is upgraded, it will gain different abilities depending on the upgrade method.

For example, if she chooses to advance using Swan Orchid when she is at the first level, she will gain the effect of Swan Orchid purifying the environment, while if she chooses to advance using Dew Prayer, she will gain the effect of 'Natural Perception'.

This is a relatively important way to acquire new abilities, so many people are quite cautious when advancing.

However, things always take unexpected turns. Just as Hilti hadn't anticipated that the alfalfa cultivation would go so smoothly, the enormous sea of ​​alfalfa flowers, the condensed 'Tier 1 Emerald Honey' alfalfa purple flowers, brought about a huge feedback that made it impossible for Hilti to suppress her realm. She was directly elevated to the second tier by these blooming alfalfa purple flowers, and even the various effects and abilities in her Destiny Card were enhanced. Even the 'Blooming Flower Technique' resonated in this process, directly advancing to a higher level.

Afterwards, she stood in front of the sea of ​​flowers, feeling a mix of emotions—joy at her advancement, yet also a sense of helplessness. Fortunately, she wasn't one to dwell on things, and after a while, she gradually accepted the situation.

Well, that's fine. Alfalfa isn't so bad either. In fact, advancing through this kind of three-phase law trial is more effective and has a more solid foundation than advancing through the ordinary method.

There are many ways to elevate one's rank, with the weakest foundation being 'gifted elevation,' which is when a noble uses their royal status to bestow status upon others, thereby granting them an elevation in rank.

This method of advancement makes the power seem borrowed, but the advantage is that even if one's talent is not good, as long as one can bear the power of the 'castle' aspect, one can steadily improve their rank.

The most common way to advance is through 'cumulative advancement', which involves learning and improving various abilities of the same element, and with the support of multiple ability cards of the same element, the central destiny card can be upgraded.

Other advancement methods include 'elixirs', 'ritual enhancement', and 'trials of the three phases'.

The abilities gained from advancing through the 'Trial of the Three Phases' are related to the content of the trial. For example, this time, Hiltiya advanced by cultivating 'clover', and the abilities she gained were strongly related to clover.

Once the [Emerald Honey] aspect within her body stabilized again, Siltia began testing several of her newly enhanced abilities.

First is the [Discrimination Eye Lv.4]: Due to special talent and physique, you can distinguish four colors that ordinary people cannot perceive, as well as some of the essence of things.

She focused her attention on her pupils, looking down at the purple sea of ​​flowers, and a completely different feeling emerged before her eyes.

If in the past, we saw things at a resolution of about 1080, but now it has been directly upgraded to 4K resolution. To others, everything looks the same red, but to Hilti, even the same red can be distinguished into four different differences. These differences come from multiple deviations in structured light, reflection, air medium, and pigment aggregation.

She can now distinguish the seemingly identical purple alfalfa flowers below into 473 different types based on their color, and this ability is readily apparent. If this ability were used for painting, potion making, or observation and analysis, it would greatly enhance her skills.

However, this ability is not without its flaws. After using it for a while, Hilti felt a slight buildup of fatigue.

It seems that her mental strength is insufficient to support the normal maintenance of this ability, and she can only use it for about an hour a day. If the energy consumption is reduced, and she uses it at the level of [Identification Pupil Lv.2] in the past, she can now maintain this state at all times.

call……

Hiltiya closed her eyes, calmed herself slightly, and then reopened them, her light blue eyes returning to their usual state. It seemed she would need to learn a meditation technique to enhance her mental strength; otherwise, many of her abilities wouldn't be able to be used and maintained for extended periods.

She then tested [Natural Perception Lv.3], which was already very close to the state of the 'Emerald Eye' potion. If she added the 'Emerald Eye' potion, the two would work together to create a stronger effect.

Aside from her improved plant cultivation skills, she can now clearly hear the snoring of the toad-like beings sleeping in their hut, 600 meters away.

"It's also a great ability for reconnaissance and vigilance," the girl thought.

Finally, there are the brand-new abilities gained from this advancement.

【Alfalfa Purple Flower Lv.3】: You can control the alfalfa in the surrounding environment, making it grow, bloom, and produce seeds quickly according to your wishes, and spontaneously adjust its state to bring it closer to perfect quality.

She immersed her consciousness into the perception of this new ability, and for a moment it seemed as if she had established a shared sensory connection with the clover field below.

The soil where alfalfa grows, the breeze blowing through the grass blades, the ants and insects crawling in the soil below, the dark roots—finally, her consciousness followed the roots of the alfalfa, sensing the soil conditions dozens of meters below the surface of this valley, and even finding some ancient relics and skeletons.

A faint purple hue appeared in her eyes. Hiltiah raised her hand, and the excess branches and withered leaves in this sea of ​​clover spontaneously broke off and detached with the summer breeze. The clover along the way also twisted its stems and leaves to let these detached branches and leaves pass through and then drift out of the field.

In this way, the flower field below becomes cleaner and the utilization of nutrients and energy becomes more efficient. In the future, she won't even need the toads' help. She can simply walk in this alfalfa flower field and make them adjust spontaneously, gradually approaching the stage of 'perfect' quality.

This effect reminded Hiltiya of Lady Fran. Based on this speculation, Lady Fran must have passed the trial and successfully advanced by planting and cultivating 'sunflowers', thus gaining the ability to control the 'sunflower' sea of ​​flowers.

Then, Hilti opened her arms and lightly crossed the grassy slope, running towards the purple sea of ​​flowers below.

Under her influence, numerous purple and white petals fluttered in the wind, and then, guided by the emerald honey essence, continuously gathered and condensed.

Soon, six beautiful flower balls formed from purple alfalfa blossoms slowly landed in front of Hilti.

【Alfalfa Flower Ball】(Tier 1 - Emerald Honey): A beautiful flower ball formed by gathering alfalfa petals and refining their effects. It can be fed to your favorite animals to help them grow better. (Promotes animal physical growth and sexual affinity).

Looking at the fist-sized purple flower ball in her hand, she sniffed the faint fragrance emanating from it, feeling a little curious.

It's said to be for animals, but can humans eat it?
Judging from the literal meaning, it seems to be a stronger version of "blood wine," she guessed, but she wasn't sure and needed to test it on animals or other creatures.

Thinking of this, the girl glanced at the stables not far away and the row of toad-people huts across the hillside, and an idea came to her.
